+.SH NAME
+gftype \- translate a generic font file for humans to read
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B gftype
+.RB [ \-i ]
+.RB [ \-m ]
+.I gf_file_name
+.RI [ output_file_name ]
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The complete
+documentation for this version of \*(TX can be found in the info file
+or manual
+.IR "Web2C: A TeX implementation" .
+.PP
+The
+.B gftype
+program
+translates a
+.I gf
+(generic font) file output by, for example,
+.BR mf (1),
+to a file that humans can read.
+It also serves as a
+.I gf
+file-validating
+program (i.e., if
+.B gftype
+can read it, it's correct) and as an example of a
+.IR gf -reading
+program for other software that wants to read
+.I gf
+files.
+.PP
+The
+.I gf_file_name
+on the command line must be complete. Because
+the resolution is part of the extension, it would not make
+sense to append a default extension as is done with \*(TX or
+DVI-reading software. If no
+.I output_file_name
+is specified, the output goes to
+.IR stdout .
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH OPTIONS
+The output file includes
+bitmap images of the characters, if
+.B \-i
+is given on the command line, and a symbolic listing of the
+.I gf
+commands, if
+.B \-m
+is specified.
+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH ENVIRONMENT
+.B gftype
+looks for
+.I gf_file_name
+using the
+environment variable GFFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the variable
+TEXFONTS. If that is not set, it uses the system default.

+.\"=====================================================================
+.SH AUTHORS
+David Fuchs and Don Knuth wrote the program. It was published as
+part of the
+.I \*(MFware
+technical report, available from the \*(TX Users Group.
+Paul Richards originally ported it to Unix.
